Damn cool. Still, the majority of the country still can't get high-speed internet unless its starlink and that is probably better than those areas have been able to get in 20 years.

Quantum teleportation, a process that harnesses the power of quantum entanglement, enables an ultra-fast and secure method of information sharing between distant network users. Unlike traditional communication methods, quantum teleportation does not require the physical transmission of particles. Instead, it relies on entangled particles exchanging information over great distances.

I think this is wrong. From what I've read, the only benefit of this quantum approach is inherent protection from eavesdropping, which will destroy the signal because it relies in coherent pairs. They aren't magically transmitting information faster than light.

It depends on what/where you read. The "typical" explanation is the "instant data transfer over unlimited distance so quickly it is perceived as instant".

If it is even close to correct it would still be far faster than the existing methods of transmitting data in a given system. At least, that is the theory.
